Chapter 7

It was only two seconds, and Britney even thought that the moment just now was just an illusion.

Looking up, Britney unexpectedly caught a faint hint of red on Manuel's indifferent face.

Is it his first time?

"With a stamp as proof!" Manuel exclaimed, then swiftly departed. He touched his thin lips, still feeling the sweet and soft sensation from just now, almost losing control.

Britney reached towards her lips, still carrying a hint of warmth. She felt a surge of delight—could it be that she had seduced a virgin?

Let's see, Manuel should be around 27, 28 years old! Has he never been with a woman at this age? Could it be that he has been too focused on training in the training area and lived a very austere life?

Britney took Bryant back to the Castro's villa.

As she pondered how to explain to her parents about Bryant—After all, it's not a grown man following her around.

She hadn’t even stepped through the door before she heard a sharp voice.

Britney was well aware of this sound. Unconsciously, she quickened her pace.

“I’m telling you,  Brother, blocking our Geovanni from entering the Castro Group like this isn’t appropriate!” The speaker was Britney’s aunt, Jamiya Hendricks. Her name was gentle as water, but her personality was quite the opposite.

The Hammond family had two brothers in the older generation, with Britney's father Quinten being the second oldest and Stephanie's father Maxwell Hammond being the oldest. Traditionally, the family business was always passed down to the eldest son. However, in this generation, Britney's father was unexpectedly chosen to inherit. Naturally, Maxwell's family was not happy about this and caused quite a commotion. However, Britney's grandfather, Collin Hammond, managed to suppress the situation. In a fit of anger, Maxwell decided to move his whole family out of the ancestral home. Despite this, Collin remained steadfast in his decision.

Maxwell moved out of the old house and stopped going to the company, but Quinten still gave them half of the money that was divided each year. In recent years, Uncle's family came over, either to ask for money or to try to get their son Geovanni Hammond into the company. They didn't even want a low-level position; they wanted a managerial position or higher directly. Naturally, Quinten wouldn't allow it, as Geovanni was still studying and had a proud and arrogant attitude.

Recently, Geovanni just started his internship, and they have been coming every other day.

Britney listened to Jamiya's words and had Bryant stay outside the door while she walked over herself.

"Uncle, Aunt!"

"Yo! Britney is back!" Jamiya, sitting on the couch, turned around with a knowing smile. And sitting next to her was Britney's uncle Maxwell, always carrying himself as the head of the family.

Stephanie and Geovanni also came this time.

Britney glanced around and sat with her parents.

"Brother, you see, there is only one boy among the younger generation! In the future, it's inevitable that the Hammond family will be inherited by Geovanni! Don't you think you're being selfish by wanting to keep it all to yourself and pass it on to that girl, Britney? said Jamiya.

“Quinten, we’re getting older. You’ve seen Geovanni grow up; having him around as a helper is better than relying on outsiders!” Maxwell said earnestly.

Watching the couple banter back and forth, Britney was well aware of her parents’ thoughts. However, every time they pressured her father, he would yield to his older brother and sister-in-law, even when they were aggressive.

"Dad, just let Geovanni into the company!"

It was unexpected that Britney actually spoke up for them, but the other party was not grateful.

"Quinten, even your own daughter said so! If you don't let Geovanni into the company, I will definitely lose my temper!" Maxwell raised his voice.

Britney patted Diana's hand reassuringly and gave Quinten a glance as she said, "Uncle, Aunt! There's no problem with Geovanni joining the company. However, as for the position, I believe there shouldn't be any issues, right? After all, Geovanni is considered the successor of the company, so we can't set a bad example, can we?"

"Mom and Dad, as long as I can get into the company. The position doesn't matter! Let it be up to my uncle." Geovanni responded, disregarding Stephanie's objections beside him.

If Geovanni knew what would happen later, he wouldn’t say it didn’t matter, even if you killed him.

Of course, not only Geovanni, Maxwell and Jamiya were also very satisfied with Britney's words.

Successor of the company!

“Who would have thought that your daughter is much more insightful than you!” Maxwell commented derisively.

From childhood to adulthood, Britney had never heard Maxwell indirectly complimenting herself before.

Her father, having only one child because he cared for her mother, had endured countless disdainful looks due to her being a girl. After Geovanni was born, it gave her uncle’s family even more leverage to 'bully' her mother, making her father’s hard-earned company seem like it would be handed over without choice.

Seeing Maxwell getting up to leave, Quinten spoke up, "Hey, big brother, big sister-in-law, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"No need! The Schwartz family invited us to have dinner tonight!"
